R Nelson Snider High School - Safari Yearbook (Fort Wayne, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1966 volume:

Honoring R. Nelson Snider Snider High is continually building upon the ideals of its namesake, Mr. R. Nelson Snider. Mr. Snider has long been noted for his devo- tion to education. He was principal of South Side High for thirty-seven years, during which many firsts became traditions. Mr. Snider served as president of North Central Association dur- ing the 1946-47 term and was one of two men sent by this organization to inspect schools in the Far East. He is an honorary member of the Headmaster ' s Association and also a for- mer member of the Service Schools Around the World Committee. It is impossible to put into words the time, effort, and talents put into such works and the experiences and the insight gained; however, through them one can begin to understand and to know this outstanding educator. On November 22, 1965, Mr. R. Nelson Snider was introduced to the students of the school which bears his name. At this time, he remarked that going forth without tradition is difficult. However, he also expressed several ideals which the Snider Panthers use as they build their tradi- tion. The needs for active academic interest above inactive intellectualism for tradition based upon wholesome and rewarding fun without too much foolishness, and for healthful inspiring competition are some of these impor- tant values. This assembly represented a unique experience for Mr. Snider and the stu- dents of the school so named for him. As was evident in the students ' ovation the students gave Mr. Snider at the assembly, the Snider Panthers are quite proud that their school is the namesake of such a man. The 1966 Safari Staff dedicates this, their first complete yearbook, to the honorable and deserving man for which their school is named, R. Nelson Snider. The Sniders Lead a Versatile Life RIGHT: Music is a favorite pastime of Mr. and Mrs. R. Nelson Snider. While relaxing at home, they especially enjoy listening to their record collection. BELOW: Meet- ing the student body of his namesake high school was indeed an honor for Mr. Snider. He expressed his grati- tude in a speech given during a special school assembly where he was the honored guest. BELOW RIGHT: Mr. Snider is seated beside Soss, whose name signifies the Spirit of South Side. The dog was presented to him by the student body of South Side when he retired after serving as principal for thirty-seven years at the school. Academic « £•; rV ' ndjMBSkm Athletic 64 Today, growth means prog- ress. For Snider, the progress during the 1965-66 school year laid the foundation for the traditions to be followed in future years. Students of the school ' s two-class enrollment grew academically and socially through their experiences over the last nine months. New classes were added to the Snider curriculum as a re- sult of the increased teach- ing staff, and the new teach- ers brought progressive ideas for the already established class schedule. Also the ad- ditional staff members en- couraged the formation of several student organizations. Se rvice clubs, Future Teachers of America, science clubs, and musical clubs were brought to life. Staffs formed for the school newspaper and first complete yearbook. Oppor- tunity grew! Progress began! In the field of athletics, the first varsity teams of Snider High School came into being. Football, basketball, swim- ming, track, cross country, tennis, and golf provided a full schedule of sports for the school year. Although new students, new teachers, new classes, and new athletics were added to the existing R. Nelson Sni- der High School, the most im- portant new phase was the actual school building which was opened April 11, 1966. On this day, progress began, for the new building opened new ways of growth and progress with modern science and language laboratories, class rooms, and physical ed- ucation areas. In every facet that makes a fine school, Snider is climb- ing to the top. Yes, Snider is truly progressing as it grows and will continue to improve. Organizations 82 Closing 108 Snider Building Grows with Time ABOVE: The leaves of summer cast a picturesque shadow on the first wing of Snider to be completed. It would be another year before Panthers walked down the halls of the entire building. BELOW: Early in the fall, the nearly completed building stood silhouetted against a background of tall trees. Only the interior remained to be finished before classes opened. Snider High School actually came into being in the fall of 1964. Since then the students watched the construction of their building with great an- ticipation. Due to unforeseeable cir- cumstances the completion of the building was delayed past the proposed date of the fall of 1965. Therefore Snider stu- dents attended classes tem- porarily at Chester T. Lane Junior High School on a 7:10 A.M. to 11:55 A.M. schedule. Work progressed rapidly, and classes began in the new building on April 11, 1966, even though the gymnasium, auditorium, cafeteria, and mu- sic and art rooms were not yet completed. Although a shortened schedule was main- tained, a full curriculum was achieved. R. Nelson Snider High School is the first new public high school in Fort Wayne in thirty-nine years. Snider has many up-to-date facilities in- cluding language and science laboratories, a research cen- ter connected with the library and audio-visual program, plus excellent physical educa- tion facilities. The four million dollar building will accommo- date a student body of ap- proximately 2000, plus a competent faculty and guid- ance staff with modern, use- ful classroom equipment. For eighteen months. Snider students watched their future school rise. ABOVE (TOP): During the first few months, progress was not very noticeable, for the underground work was being done. After the pipes and wires were in place, the foundation was laid. ABOVE (CENTER): Machinery, building materials, and a sea of mud helped compose the construction site. BELOW: Finally the walls were completely erected, and the inside work on the classrooms began. RIGHT: One of the many construction workers gets a bird ' s-eye view of the unfinished portion of the building. Girders and beams formed a network of steel, and produced a rough idea of how the completed structure would look in the future. ■Lu jtfMftl Ljj M P ?£ , ' J 5 i tear •  «  5 Friendship and ABOVE: Tim Cooley studies diligently in the library, where many students were to be found doing research for term papers and selecting books for book reports. Since Snider had to share the library facilities with Lane, the public library was also the scene for much hard work. BELOW: Student assemblies are anticipated by nearly everyone, for they pro- vide a needed break from studying and help to increase school spirit. These students await dismissal after a Friday pep session. LEFT: Apron and safety glasses compose the uniform of this chemistry student. Sandi Ridge helps her fellow lab partners perform an experiment to discover the effects of nitric acid on copper. Such work is done in groups. . . . Studies Add to the Students ' Life ABOVE RIGHT: Due to the lack of space this year, it was necessary for two students to share each locker. Ginny Rish, Carol O ' Brien, and Tim Cooley stop at Carol ' s locker between classes to exchange gossip and books. ABOVE LEFT: Oh, come on now, it can ' t be that bad! Jim Brown ' s expression shows his feelings after taking a big test. ABOVE: Mr. Stodden performs one of his many duties as the attendance clerk. His job consisted of calling the homes of absent students to learn the reason for their absence. BELOW: Two faces often seen at band prac- tice were those of Rick Baumgartner and Phil Scaletta. During these prac- tices, the band members worked on songs that were played at games, pep sessions, and concerts. ABOVE LEFT: Halloween is a popular night with kids of all ages,- even high school students enjoy trick-or-treating along with the other witches, goblins, and ghosts. BELOW LEFT: Sue Lehman, Gloria Fryer, and Terry Anderson consult the bulletin board in the publica- tions room. All reporters for the Scroll staff were required to get their assignments from the posted lists, for which staff editors are responsible. Students Manage to Combine Work and Pleasure Effectively ABOVE: The Dramatics Club, under the direction of Mr. Hofer, put on several skits this year. As part of the Christmas program they enacted the Christmas story. Jean Schoaf, Nancy Mullins, Bill Klaus, Sherry Kroemer, and Kathy Baiden portray one of the scenes. BELOW: At every game, the Pantherettes, Snider ' s majorettes, performed before the action started and during half-time. Here, they present the flag to fans attending a game played at the North Side gym, one of the borrowed home- floors. Helping Hands, Inquisitive Minds LEFT: Bill Biedenweg, Larry Beatty, and Jim Conn help carry packages to the cars of the Christmas Bureau representatives. The presents were donated by Snider students to be distributed to needy families in Fort Wayne. BELOW LEFT: Karyn Stresser lends a helping hand to Mrs. DeBolt, Snider ' s efficient matron.

Panther Doug Stark is shown giving a sales pitch to a Lane teacher, Mr. Graham. 15 af L — Academic I The 1965-66 school year was beneficial to the Snider students even though a short- ened school-day schedule was in use. Forty minute class periods provided students with the opportunity to choose the same subjects as if in a regular school day. This past spring, Snider students pre- pared their schedules for a seven period, full day sched- ule which will be in use at the beginning of the 1966-67 school year. Studertts chose their subjects from nine sub- ject areas: English; mathe- matics; science,- social studies,- foreign languages; business; journalism; fine arts, which is a combination of art, music, ■and speech, and drama; practical arts; industrial arts; and physical education and health. Various educational experi- ments were tried at Snider this past year. Team teaching in the area of science and ac- celerated classes in mathe- matics were among these ex- periments. An additional ' first was the extra assist- ance students received from the nightly help sessions in French, mathematics, and chemistry. The new Snider building employs many modern edu- cational conveniences. Among these are a learning resource center with library and audio- visual facilities, a reading laboratory, a foreign lan- guage laboratory, and a sci- ence laboratory. All class- rooms are equipped to insure students of a progressive ed- ucation. The learning capac- ity of all the students was in- creased because of these modern conveniences, and the enjoyment of the students in such classes also will continue to expand. Progress comes from growth and expansion. In-and-Out-of-Class Work Teaches Basics ABOVE: Learning French songs was one of the favorites of this French class. Miss Amelung accompanied as she taught the musically inclined students. RIGHT: Concentration and determination are the two expressions shown as Larry Busch struggles through a Latin class. BELOW: Louis DeArmond writes an exercise in French on the blackboard while the class observes. The entire class will benefit from the mistakes made, if any, in work which is displayed on the board from individual ' s home assignments. 18 Communication Between People Is Achieved In Common Languages The German language was added to the Snider Foreign Language Department this year. The first year stresses speaking practice and accu- rate pronunciation and into- nation to develop the basic sound system of the language. German II is further study in the same areas and includes study of German cultures. Basic grammar and vocab- ulary for reading Latin, plus a study of Roman life and culture compose the course of Latin I. Second year Latin in- cludes the reading of Cae- sar ' s GALLIC WARS. Latin III and IV provide students with more details on Latin and Roman grammar and litera- ture. French I is an introductory course that establishes a foundation in listening com- prehension, intelligent re- sponse, reading and writing. Basic French vocabulary and grammar are learned. French II continues attention to oral fluency and the organization of the French verb system. In French III and IV conversation is practiced and literary works are studied. Spanish I introduces the basic structure of the lan- guage and stresses pronunci- ation by using simple dia- logues. Spanish II studies the grammar of the language and more advanced dialogues are read. In Spanish III and IV more conversation and reading are studied. Spanish literature is read and discussed in Spanish in class. Spanish IV will be taught next year. ABOVE: Sara Coburn gazes pensively at her book as she reads outside material for Latin class. Language students profit from outside study by learning to derive thoughts and ideas from spoken dialogues, such as the play she reads BELOW: Mrs. Poe instructs a second year Latin class in the study of Julius Caesar ' s COMMENTARIES ON THE GALLIC WARS. The phrase being discussed, bellum gerere, is an idiom which means to wage war. Such phrases help students in their Latin literature. 19 Past Events of World, United States Direct Study, Knowledge to Future ABOVE: Mr. Volz explains the growth of the United States to one of his junior United States History classes. Through research of facts and classroom discussions and lectures, students learn the whens and whys of the history of our country. BELOW LEFT: Mr. Harshman, student teacher, explains the political system of the U.S. to his junior history class. Governmental comparison adds interest and understanding to the class. BELOW RIGHT: A point in question is answered by Don Higgins as he finds a city ' s location in Texas. Mr. Morken checks Don ' s answer for accuracy so the class will know the answer. 20 Students Learn Old in Their Search for the New ABOVE: Note taking, intent listening, and remembering are three ways these students learn in their history class. By writing facts dur- ing class study, home study is made easier and tests are taken with more confidence. BELOW: In this general history class, the students under the teaching direction of Mr. Charles Sheets seem to be amused at his way of lecture, at the moment. As most teachers, Mr. Sheets proves that fun is an essential ingredient of a teacher ' s recipe for creating a pleasant atmosphere in the classroom learning situations. Two areas of study were in- cluded in the social studies de- partment this year. Basic study was learned in World History, a course of man ' s develop- ment during the past six thou- sand years. Emphasis in this class is placed on the Judaic- Greco-Christian inheritance of the western civilization. Orien- tal cultures were also studied in detail. United States History was the second class which was of- fered for study. A require- ment for all high school jun- iors, this class deals in teach- ing the need and responsibili- ty of a good citizen by ex- plaining the people and gov- ernment of the United States. Course goals in U.S. His- tory include: providing the tools with which the student may work to comprehend the problems of the nation; pro- viding the information which will help to establish the con- text in which a student may function as a well-informed citizen of the country. As seniors enroll at Snider, next year, four one semester courses will be added to the social studies department. American government will teach processes of the local, state, and federal levels. So- ciology will introduce the sci- ence and art of human beings. Economics will present the theory and practice by which man provides goods and serv- ices for himself. Values and Issues of Contemporary So- ciety is a course which is de- signed to illuminate the basic values of our society of today. 21 Literature, Composition, Grammar Compose LEFT. David Messerschmidt delivers an oral book report in his junior English class. Students write or give orally at least six book reports during each year of high school. ABOVE; Mrs. Seaman directs study time in her junior English class. After class discussion every student works in preparation for the assignment for the next day. In class study provides the students a chance to confer with the subject teacher. BELOW: Listening to lecture helps students understand the meaning of literature works in English class. After reading the assignment, students realize more facts through classroom discussion of the story or a play. The English Department is composed of units of Litera- ture, grammar and composi- tion. Tenth grade classes basic skills are developed in gram- mar and composition and lit- erature. Rules of verbs, sen- tence structure and paragraph unity are applied in writing practices. The study of Ameri- can literature is emphasized in the sophomore year. Stu- dents read short stories, classics, and contemporary novels. Another facet of this year is a requirement of six book reports from each stu- dent. Junior English classes cover basically the same material but with a slight variation in emphasis. Study in literature includes Shakespeare ' s MAC- BETH. Expository writing and research paper techniques aid the students in practicing their knowledge in grammar. Other junior classes study the novel SILAS MARNER along with their grammar and composition classes. Again in the junior year, all students are required to read and re- port on six books the y read. Progressive Study for English Classes ABOVE: Mrs. Sosenheimer discusses with her English class the mechanics of diagraming sentences, a technique which aids students in learning the different parts of speech. A sentence diagram also furthers the understanding of word usage in a grammatically correct sentence. LEFT: Another English instructor, Mr. Reynolds, advises Don Higgins in choosing material for a research paper. Students in X lane junior English are re- quired to write a term paper for the course. BELOW: Doug Stark points out an inter- esting feature on a map of England.

RIGHT: The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Smith, spends many hours practicing. A select group of musically inclined students, the orchestra, studies and performs representative literature from all periods and composers with emphasis on perfect performances. 25 Four courses are included in the science department of Snider High School. Earth sci- ence presents various aspects of atmospheric phenomena, clouds, precipitation, winds, air pressure, and climates. Land formation and mountain building processes are intro- duced along with rock and mineral study. Zoology is designed as a laboratory class. Students spend over eighty percent of their time working on experi- ments and problems. Labora- tory skills are developed in use of the various microscopes and scales. Chemistry is a course in which observation and measurement lead to the un- folding and development of unifying principles. Emphasis is placed upon laboratory work, resulting in students ' models to correlate with ex- periences. Another science course is physics, which develops a uni- fied story that results in an atomic model of matter. Bring- ing the students close to the spirit of inquiry is the aim of the course. Special topics of study include sound, light, heat, electricity, and magnet- ism will be taught next year. LEFT: Lee VanHorn carefully measures an acid solution into a flask. In the science laboratory, students perform various experiments in order to better understand the scientific theories which are the foundation of chemistry. The results of these experiments, as Lee will soon know, must be recorded in his laboratory notebook. BELOW: Zoology is the study of the animal kingdom. Students taking this course learn about the types of organisms and the phases of their lives. Mike Bouse disects a fetal pig while his lab partner, Pat Herb, takes notes on the anatomy of the animal they are using. Experiments Help Prepare for the Future 26 Chemistry Includes Lab and Classroom Work ABOVE; Dennis Debruler, Jim Tollman, Paul Gabriel, and Richard Warlzok, members of fourth period chemistry class, perform on experiment to deter- mine the heat of some reactions between acids and bases. An important part of chemistry is the laboratory work. There students learn to work to- gether, follow directions, and apply what they have learned in classroom study. The results of the experiments are then recorded in each student ' s lab notebook. RIGHT; Mr. Lewton offers to assist Sally Easton with her chemistry homework. Students soon learn the basic formulas and the importance of knowing how to apply them. A chemistry help night was also sponsored once a week for those who needed additional explanations. 27 Combined Library and Studyhall Facilities Provide Research- Study Area The facilities of the library and studyhall gave the students a chance to research and gain deeper knowledge in areas of study and learning. The library afforded the books and maga- zines needed to substantiate and increase knowledge of a regular day of class work. Studyhall provided an atmosphere for study and concentration which aided students in preparing les- sons. Together the two formed a very desirable combination to aid students as well as teachers. With the convenient location of the library, near the studyhall, the advantages of the library reached its greatest height. The students utilized this area. ABOVE: Using the books and periodicals, Larry Jones studied diligently to gain additional data for a term paper. Right: Studyhall gave a break from the days routine to catch up on studys and prepare for classes. In the Lane building stu- dents were allowed to study together in the front of the studyhall. Below: Keith Augerbright uses one of many reference books available to stu- dents. Many books were added to the shelves of the studyhall.

Journalism, Speech Offer Class Variety in Preparations For Future Work, Study ABOVE: Steve Ludwig counts out a headline for journalism class drill as Mike Miller figures the advertisements t o be used on the last page of the SCROLL. Along with learning how to write good newspaper stories, journalism students learn the details of producing a good school newspaper. BELOW: To persuade, to inform— ideas for the writing of speeches. Linda Fleck shares her ideas with her speech class. Students listen carefully, learning the correct ways while identifying those habits to be improved. Journalism is the class which helps form the publi- cation department staff mem- bers. This course covers basic text material including news reporting and writing, ad selling, and the financial system of a newspaper. Em- phasis is given to the for- mation of a good news publi- cation. Correct journalistic writing is a major part of this class. Students practice reporting and writing, basic require- ments needed before receiv- ing actual work experience on both staffs for publishing The Scroll and the Safari. Another division of the Lan- guage Arts Department is Speech I, a basic course in oral communication. Basic fundamentals of speaking are stressed in this beginning speech course. Aims of this class include the developing of poise, self confidence and good speak- ing habits. Students strive for these goals as they practice in proper use of voice, ges- tures, vocabulary and general delivery. Speech II which is pre- requisited by Spech I is designed to broaden the experiences of students in oral communication. Debate groups, play cuttings, radio and television scripts are also included in this course of study. |W fflS 29 Home Ec Offers Domestic Education ABOVE: Donna Harter watches closely as Sue Peavey hems the edge of a terrycloth kitch- en towel. Both girls are interested in learning precision machine sewing, which is accom- plished by f irst learning the basic techniques. BELOW: Girls in home economics evaluate their sewing projects. Mrs. Rice, teacher, assists each girl, pointing out correct methods used and also mentioning the areas for improvement. Individual attention is given to girls. Home Economics classes, included in the department of Practical Arts, offer a variety of domestic education courses. In this area, girls prepare themselves for every phase of homemaking, ranging from the study of nutrition and food preparation to care for the sick. Food classes study the Four Food Groups and their impor- tances, in the diet and in the cooking of the foods. Home study teaches good manage- ment of the home ' s operation and budget. Care for the sick helps girls to prepare for the future, just as the other classes in this area of education. ffiB Practical Arts Departmen t Includes Fields of Industrial Arts for Boys ABOVE; Deep concentration seems to be a prerequisite of perfection for John Snyder as he studies his nearly-completed drawing. A new technique has taught him precise, neat drawing. RIGHT: Steve Bair prepares the elec- trical wire soon to be used to complete a lamp. At the same time, Pat Base firms the socket into the wood body. BELOW: Boys in the wood shop use machine power and manual power on their class projects. Mr. Short ob- serves as boys begin and finish their first wood working projects of the class. Industrial Arts is a part of the high school practical arts program, and Snider includes several classes in the area of education. Three classes on the begin- ning level are included in the shop schedule. Boys may en- roll in Wood I, Drafting I or Metals I for their first experi- ences in this program. Basic knowledge of tools and draw- ing are learned in these three classes. After successful achieve- ment in the beginning classes, students may enroll in the ad- vanced classes of wood, drafting, and metals. These courses are a continuance of the first three. Another advanced indus- trial arts class is power me- chanics. These students be- come fully acquainted with power tools and their uses. Courses in the area of prac- tical arts are offered on the semester basis,- allowing boys to take full advantage of this field. Courses are offered in continuing order. 31 Legalities as well as prac- ticalities are stressed in the courses of the business cur- riculum. All students in general bus- iness classes find the basic training they receive in the course will be quite helpful upon entering the world of business. Girls learn one facet of secretarial work along with the importance of fast ac- curate typing in general typ- ing or seventh-period personal typing. The usage of shorthand symbols applicable in numer- ous lines of office work is learned and practiced in be- ginning and advanced short- hand classes. All students who enroll will benefit in future education classes as well as in their jobs and careers. Bookkeeping students learn how to keep clear, accurate journals. Debits and cred- its become basic vocabulary words for these future book- keepers. In clerical practice, con- sumer economics, and business law, students learn the ins and outs of organizational business. They become ac- quainted with office practices. Students Plan, Work for Business Careers ABOVE LEFT: Karen Davis and Cheryl Squires practice writing shorthand symbols in order to increase speed and to improve form. Along with other shorthand stu- dents, these two girls will find that this course is es- sential for success in the business world. Work at the blackboard helps the entire class in recognizing and learning the shorthand symbols. LEFT: Among the busi- ness courses, typing is one of the more popular, since it is of value in many different fields of work. Pat Herb works to achieve greater speed and accuracy, and in addition, learns the correct forms for typing letters and other papers. Proficient typists can use their skill throughout their lives, in education, and careers. 32 Mathematics represents a field of wide interest to many students. The department of- fers five courses on increas- ingly difficult levels. Algebra helps the pupil to understand some of the basic structure of math. It ' s the first high school course. Geometry study is to intro- duce the nature of proof to the class. Following this course is advanced algebra, where real and complex numbers are a major part of the class study. Trigonometry and analytic geometry combine study time of various fields of math- ematics for the enrolled stu- dents. A review of the begin- ning and intermediate math classes is achieved in the last course of the curriculum. Roadway to Future Is Paved by Students As They Study Mathematics Curriculum ABOVE: Mr. Craney brings out the main ideas in an instructional segment of the geometry book. Gene Thompson tries to work independently while Sue Thompson and Sharon Jackson grasp more techniques through careful listening. BELOW: Blackboards provide help to all students in geometry class.

Physical Education Keeps Students Fit 34 Talents, Abilities Displayed by Artists For creative students, a sat- isfactory art curriculum, con- sisting of four levels is offered. Art I, basic design and drawing, is an introductory course, including the study of the art elements, figure and portrait drawing and an in- troduction to three dimen- sional media. Art II, advanced design, concentrates more on the fin- ished products and more com- plex developments and use of media. In this course, linoleum prints, woodcuts, sculpture, and advanced portraits are studied. Applied design, the art class for third year students, teaches the pupils the appli- cation of principles, skills, and techniques acquired in Art I and Art II. Special emphasis is placed on the study of painting in periods and the application of those tech- niques used. Advanced problems in painting and sculpture are the two major facets of art which are covered in the fourth year art class, which has been added to the curric- ulum for the next year when seniors are enrolled at Snider. ABOVE LEFT: Marianne Pelz and Nancy Mullins continue their projects with clay. Working with clay, students are able to create projects which display their feelings as well as their abilities. ABOVE: Nancy Mullins views her work with a critical eye as she molds the clay figure. Art courses help students build their skills and express talents. BELOW: Jim Jackson, Jack Slater, Kathy Snyder, and Carolyn Perrine show great and deep concentra- tion os they continue work on their class assignment in art models. Faculty R. Nelson Snider ' s compe- tent faculty is composed of thirty-seven teachers, plus guidance counselors, secre- taries, and. an able mainte- nance staff who also add to the total school. These per- sonnel are headed by Mr. Maurice Davis, principal, who is responsible for the co-ordi- nating of Snider ' s scholastic and extra-curricular activities. Mr. Elster and Miss Spiegel, dean of students and dean of girls, respectively, have made themselves known to all Sni- der students. Besides helping with various school policies, they counsel students concern- ing any difficulties they might have. Mr. Doug Baugh, guidance co-ordinator, is always ready to lend a listening ear to any student who wants guidance assistance. Mr. Robert Arm- strong is also a guidance counselor, however, his main duty is athletic director for the school. Other familiar faces around the school include the school secretaries. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Barr take care of office information and material for the general office. Mrs. Follis is the treasurer for Snider High. Her job consists of all money handling for affairs of the school. The custodial staff of Sni- der maintain a clean and beautiful building. Their work adds to Snider inside and out. Faculty members have coped with many unusual sit- uations, sharing rooms in an- other building. However, they have still maintained an ex- cellent atmosphere for learn- ing. Working on one-half day shifts for the first seven months of the school year was, indeed, full of unique experiences; however, every class of every school day pro- moted progress for the future of students. The foundation of learning was firmly estab- lished before Snider moved into the new school building which was done April 1 1,1966. Members of the Snider High School faculty and student body are under the direction and leadership of Mr. Maurice Davis. As Principal, Mr. Davis has set the policies and standards for Panthers during the past two years and for the future. Aided by his guidance, the school has grown from one class of stu- dents in 1964-65 to the full-school program for the three classes to enroll next fall.

Student Body Eagerly anticipating their junior year, about 325 juniors were enrolled at Snider for the 1965-66 school year. These Panthers were looking forward to a productive year under the sponsorship of Miss Andis and Mr. Bruick. The class of 1967 was the first group of students to en- ter study at the R. Nelson Sni- der High School; thus, the traditions for the future stu- dents to follow were set by these first Panthers. While they were disappointed that the new building was not com- pleted in time for the begin- ning of the year, they antici- pated it more in the spring. The major event for the juniors this year was the Jun- ior Prom on May 21 at the Tokiem Hall. In September of 1965 ap- proximately 450 prospective sophomores were ready for their first year of high school. At first there was a general feeling of bewilderness and confusion, but the new Pan- thers were awaiting the many new experiences awaiting them during this first year of high school. Parties, dances, ball games and clubs were added to the busy schedules of the teen- agers of Snider. The main event of the school year for this class of 1968 was the semi-formal Sophomore Party. Assisted by class sponsors Mr. Weaver and Mrs. Seaman, the stu- dents planned the activities for this event which ended the first year of high school for the new Panthers. They completed a busy, rewarding year. ABOVE: Four officers and two sponsors lead the 1965-66 junior class. This class grew in size and progressed in honor under the capable leadership of these six people. Left to right, Mike Oplinger, vice-president; Don Higgins, president; Jean Hartman, secretary; Mr. Don Bruick, sponsor; Julie Quinn, treasurer; and Miss Sue Andis. Three hundred students, sponsored by Miss Andis and Mr. Bruick, comprise the 1967 junior class. Since these stu- dents were the first class of Snider High, they have played an important part in estab- lishing the school. They have helped develop and estab- lish the traditions that will be followed by students as long as R. Nelson Snider High School exists. From the thirteen junior homerooms, come represent- atives to the Student Council, four of whom are Student Council officers. They are vitally important in commun- icating between the staff and the students. Other school services ren- dered by the juniors are working as office helpers, working as library helpers, and working in publications, not to mention athletics. These students have helped to form the service clubs, them- selves. Group activities, class elec- tions, and the long-awaited moving day are just a few of the memories shared by all juniors. After many weeks of plan- ning and long hours of work, the excitement of the year reached its peak when the day of the prom arrived. The dance was at Tokheim Hal 1 on May 31 .

Members were those boys who had re- ceived either a first year or both a first year and second year letter in any of the var- sity sports, which include cross country, track, basketball, and football. The organization, sponsored by Mr. Griffith, was set up mainly for the purpose of serving the school in the field of athletics. This year, Lettermen served as ushers for all home basketball games and also as helpers for the home track meets. Letter win- ners were honored at a ban- quet on May 26 at Concordia Senior College Campus. BELOW: The newly formed Lettermans ' Club had many members for the first year.

BELOW: Miss Degler assists Linda Tim- brook in a back bend while Sherrie Lawyer observes the techniques. She then plans to make her try, knowing that a helper is close by to give assistance when it is necessary. 80 This year the intramural program was expanded, offer- ing to students a wide variety of programs. Many students participated in the activities, which ranged from weight- lifting to modern dance. Under the direction of Miss Degler and Mr. Clevenger, the intra- mural group perfected many of the skills used in various different sports. Intramurals met during the sixth period in the girls ' gym for those stu- dents who had another study hall during the day in addi- tion to that period. Each stu- dent was able to select the area or areas in which he was most interested. Intramurals also provided a chance for those boys inter- ested in sports and not on any teams to participate in their special field of interest. Future goals of the intra- mural program are to interest more students and to have a wider variety of activities. Intramural Program Offers Wide Variety Of Sports To Students ABOVE: Weight-lifting was a part of the intramural program, as well as wrestling and football. Rick Armstrong was among those who took advantage of this pro- gram. BELOW: Students practice to perfect their fencing form. Also a part of the intramural program, fencing skills were offered to those interested boys and girls. 81 llittiS Organizations Organizations are an im- portant and worthwhile facet of every school ' s curriculum, and Snider is no exception to this rule. The extra-curricular activities in which many Pan- thers take part provide effec- tive outlets for youthful en- ergies and endeavors. They aid in developing sound per- sonality traits and also accent individuality. Each student can find an organization to suit his own likes and needs, whether he is pursuing an interest, prepar- ing for a career, performing a service, promoting recogni- tion, or merely participating in an activity for enjoyment. For those who wish to be of benefit to their school and community, there are Service Clubs. Departmental groups provide study of various areas. Some of the students join these clubs for guidance in their future vocations and ca- reers. Ambitious, active members are essential to the success of any organization. Member- ship alone is not enough, but active participation is needed to keep it functioning smooth- ly and properly. The members, themselves, form the heart of an organization, and the en- thusiasm of these people de- termines the degrees of suc- cess of the group. Being an active member in a club brings contentment and satisfaction in full measure. It also reaps countless intangi- ble rewards. The happy hours spent busily active serve to enhance character and strengthen the minds of the participating student members. Council Works To Develope Enthusiasm, Communication and Fellowship Among All Students The Student Council is al- ways a direct reflection of and influence on the students of a high school. Its effective- ness and importance in the running of that school are shown by its achievements and successes. Snider ' s Stu- dent Council members have fulfilled their duties and com- pleted many projects this year. After two years of discussion and work, the constitution was drawn up, and the school code was written. Also, the stu- dent directory, Yellow Pages, and Snider ' s hand- book were finished and dis- tributed to all students. A sportsmanship committee was formed to increase school spirit and enthusiasm. This was accomplished with the help of booster buttons and a spirit week before the basket- ball sectionals. Another com- mittee, the welcoming commit- tee, was organized to welcome visitors and new students to the school. This committee also made Panthers feel at home in the new building by hang- ing posters in the homerooms and decorating the halls for the first week at Snider. The Student Council aided the student body by co- ordinating all class elections. It also helped to solve some school problems, such as those involving writing on desks and communication between stu- dents and the administration. Snider ' s Student Council benefitted the community by organizing the United Fund drive and the contribution to the local Christmas bureau. ABOVE: The officers who guided Snider ' s Student Council were, from left to right: Tim Shambaugh, vice-president; Rick Baum- gartner, president; Laura Loyd, secretary; and Doug Stark, treas- urer.

The main portion of activity was centered around the observatory teaching and tutoring of students at Glen- wood Elementary. Due to the Snider time schedule and the fine co-operation of Mrs. Sto- ver, principal of Glenwood Elementary, the program was a huge success for the F.T.A. members and teachers at Glenwood.

This year, the students in the program were under the direction of Mr. Clevenger and Miss Deg- ler. They chose the perform- ers, selected the routines to be used, and coordinated the acts. Everyone involved spent much time and energy in re- hearsing their acts, making publicity posters, and selling tickets. The acts in the show in- cluded several routines per- formed by the girls ' physical education classes. These in- volved the use of hoops and clubs, balls and ropes, and modern dance. Another mod- ern dance group was includ- ed, along with acts on the uneven parallel bars and the vaulting box. The co-ed group performed a pyramid rou- tine and there were also tum- bling and pyramid routines done by the boys ' gym classes.

In the early spring, two club repre- sentatives traveled to Bloom- ington for the state J.C.L. con- vention. May 1 1 was the date of the J.C.L. banquet. Latin Club meetings pro- vided students with an op- portunity to develope more interest in the Roman civiliza- tion and the effects it has on life today. Mrs. Poe ably sponsored this group of students, and her interest and enthusiasm added to the club ' s purpose and goals. As the first year of opera- tion closed for J.C.L., mem- bers were planning for club activities of next year. Late in the school year, stu- dents who were interested in social studies formed a club under the advisorship of Mr. Charles Sheets. The main purpose of this group is to give students a broader view of past and present happenings of the world. Field trips and guest speakers will help attain this goal. Plans of the present club include a celebration for the state ' s one hundred and fiftieth year in the union.

Lane students also had their own paper. This year was unique in that students were in session only one-half day. The work on the newspaper was done early in the morning or late at night, since the building was also used in the after- noon. Staff members worked hard to attain a high rating for their newspaper.

New sports, organizations, and subjects matured in the hands of their founders and members. Each group had to elect officers, write a con- stitution, develop policies, campaign for participants, and make themselves known as they helped to build and improve the activities for Snider Panthers. Each par- ticipant had to invest his time and talents to nurture this growth. The yearbook was no ex- ception to this fact. This year the members of the staff had to select a name for Snider ' s first complete yearbook, and, as Panthers searching for new opportunities and experi- ences, they chose SAFARI. The staff also campaigned for a summer delivery so that the SAFARI could be as complete as possible. They designed the cover, and selected the type style, the headline count, the print style, and all the other seemingly little things that would make the SAFARI a memorable story of the 1965-66 school year. These jobs could not have been accomplished without a competent staff and sales representative from the pub- lishing company. The staff and ad salesmen spent many hours and in- vested their talents to make a yearbook that all Panthers would be proud of. The SA- FARI is completed and the staff is proud, for their job was well done. Mr. Jim Ar- thur, representative from the American Yearbook Com- pany, helped the SAFARI staff through many crises. Each member of the staff learned a great deal from these trials and put this experience to good use, as he helped to make the yearbook as fine as possible. All of this stress and strain was finally rewarded as 725 copies of the SAFARI came rolling off the presses late in August. Now a partially new and well seasoned staff is ready to start some new growth as they prepare the ' 67 SAFARI to bring memories to more students. 127 The individuals on the SA- FARI staff contributed a great deal to the yearbook. They spent many hours after school as they tried to make Snider High ' s yearbook the best in the city, perhaps in the state. It wasn ' t all hard work, though. They had fun, be- cause they enjoyed working together and sharing their talents. Cooperation is an impor- tant element for the accom- plishment of any task. If people can ' t work together, they might as well not work at all. The Panthers who worked on the yearbook had this important element. These people deserve a great deal of credit and appreciation. Pride in accomplishment is perhaps a sufficient reward, but there are some individuals who deserve a bit more than this. Mrs. Hart, our advisor, deserves and has the sincere gratitude of the entire staff. She helped us to grow and to learn as we worked to- gether. We would also like to thank Mr. Jim Arthur, who had the tolerance to help us through our problems, and also the advertisers, who made our book possible. My personal gratitude goes to Mrs. Hart, who made my editorship possible, and to every member of the staff, who worked to make the SAFARI an excellent year- book. There are so many people I would like to thank. Actually every Panther, through his cooperation and enthusiasm, helped to com- pile the SAFARI. Thank you, yes, each of you, for helping the staff to write a memorable story of the Panthers ' safari through the 65-66 school year. vl- VoJ S db
